On Tuesday 10th September I joined other MPs in promoting Breast Cancer UK's Wear It Pink Day 2013.

Over the last 10 years Wear It Pink has raised a staggering £23 million. On Friday 25th October people will come together in schools, colleges and businesses throughout the country to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Campaign's lifesaving research.

Every year in the UK around 50,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly 12,000 women and 80 men die from this disease. This is why we need to support Breast Cancer Campaign's fundraising efforts so they can continue to fund research which will one day lead to a cure.
